Shaw's monologue - the only monologue worth talking about for twenty minutes on the radio. Legend.

This is a great example of Ant and Jimmy being hilarious and Opie not knowing what to do at all

One of the most horrifying scenes in film history is a man quietly telling a story.

Eleven hundred jokes went into the bit, three hundred sixteen jokes come out, and Opie ruined the rest

Jaws is of course one of the best films ever,and Robert Shaw was a fantastic actor...and he absolutely OWNS this film, the Indianapolis talk is a screen legend

Here's to swimmin' with bowlegged women.

They don't make actors like Robert Shaw any more. Guy should have definitely won a supporting actor oscar for Jaws.

"No distress signal had been sent" "I've been going to the gym"

Robert Shaw was possibly the '70's premier character actor. Beside JAWS, he kicked ass in THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE, one of the best crime films of the '70's (great chemistry between Shaw, Walter Matthau and Martin Balsam), and he stole THE STING as the Irishman.

Robert Shaw should have atleast been nominated,.

The Indiannapolis monologue was a joint collaboration by scriptwriters that was re-written by Robert Shaw to create the monologue as portrayed.

I love my parents. They took me to see jaws at 5. I was f$&ked, I was hiding between the seats. In a strange way I knew what’s was going on and then I didn’t. I went to Grand Isle Louisiana on vacation after watching. And was scared as s$&t the entire time 😂

This is one of the best bits that's ever been on any type of radio.

I'm shocked Opie had actually seen it...

this is one of very few 10/10 films for me.

If you watch one of the Jaws: The Inside Story that scene was not improvised, Spielberg and a few of his friends wrote it out with some help and even Roy Schneider added the line about the dolls eyes. Robert Shaw asked if he could do it with a few drinks in him but he was too drunk and only got a few good lines out of him, the next day he did it stone sober and knocked it out of the park and they edited the clips together. Watch that documentary exactly 1 hour and 5 minutes into it

Guys, guys. Opie went on vacation. He's very appreciative that he got to go to vacation. Guys

Williams' music during this scene is absolutely fucking chilling. Goat film.

For the record, John Milius wrote the Indianapolis speech that Shaw edited/improvised over.

Without Robert Shaw, Jaws would have been an average 70s monster movie.

Shaw was amazing in that movie. If you've ever been around old fisherman than you know how perfect he was in the film

@ 6:44 Opie making it about him...they need a screeching tires track for every time he pipes up and stalls the momentum.

I like when Ant agrees w something...YEEESS!...lol

Poor Opie tried his hardest to steer away the comedy from this bit. Going onto company drama, a "skin tag", and his days off. Awful.

R.i.p. Robert Shaw. Legend

Such a great movie, funny to think about all the great scenes and none of them included the shark

There’s a lot is shit talk about Opie after the fact.... look, he wasn’t the joke man but he made this magic work sometimes. Listen at 5:55... it’s a beautiful (minor) setup to let Jim and Ant go nuts. It worked, just a little peppered line to let them do Voss, quote and improve. This show was magic in a bottle and they all played a part.

The Indianapolis monologue is the greatest monologue in cinema history

i love O&A movie talks so much.

Opie getting in the way, once again....

yet, another great bit destroyed buy the opie shark...some times he went away...sometimes he wouldn't go away

I'm a Jaws obsessive. Probably seen it 50 times, but I'd never picked up on the delivery of "No distress signal had been SENT" until I heard this.

Rich Vos "I'm not gonna take this ABUSESHHH much longer!" 🐴

"lifeless eyes. Black eyes, like dolls eyes."

whys opie in the background

Opie the man who thinks saying sangwich is funny

"They give you your paycheck and you hear that awful screamin and hollerin" lmao when Ant was on he was ON

the story is shaw did the take didn't like it and wasn't convinced went to his trailer got drunk then went and delivered that scene. Truly talented

Robert Shaw was the best! just saw taking of Pelham last. night great voice and acting

I heard Shaw told Dreyfuss that there might be room in Hollywood for two short Jewish actors. One I suspect the other actor was Dennis Hoffman and two Spielberg probably got offended.

This scene was originally written by Carl Gottleib. Unsatisfied by the scene as it existed in the script, Robert Shaw completely rewrote it himself. Legend has it that he rewrote it and memorized it the night before the shoot.

I just watched jaws and had to come to hear this.... classic

Forget this amazing scene I want more of Greggys 3 day VaCa 💤💤💤💤

Shaw was the real deal and like the other anglo-irish actors of his generation, he didn't need to think about how to stress and intonate and nuance a scene, it came instinctually.

I need to get my eyes fixed; I spent a few minutes thinking to myself, what does this have to do with jews?

saw jaws again the other week love it :)

I love how they're riffing on Batman at the end, I want to see Robert Shaw as old bitter crippled Batman who reflects on when he was shot in the knees and says "...and no Batmobile had been sehn-t."

Amazing skit. Opie ruins it

The movie is so good, that the mechanical shark can not dull your enthusiasm for it....

I always think that whatever actor they're shitting on is a fan of the show, and they hear Ant or Jim talk about they're bad acting, and it sends them into a deep depression and a lifetime of insecurity. I don't mean that in a sympathetic way, i just picture their faces.

Jim maybe has a point with 'Herbie from Cleveland' but, as an Englishman, the idea of a Herbie Robinson from Cleveland is very realistic. I can see the caption now..

I never seen any of the Jaws movies but I think I know a lot about them from this show.

Ant and Jim having a great convo about jaws and doing bits and opie can’t stop chiming in with quips about his stupid vacation

The other dynamic of his speech is the way he still portrays his dislike for Hooper, he kept saying “Chief” as if the college boy with “city hands” couldn’t understand the plight of a Serviceman almost dying.

the bit about not being in the original script was true although when they started shooting the script wasn't even finished. recommend watching Jaws the inside story as it's probably one of the best making of docs I've seen

The sinking is a situation that's so bad, it's almost funny He's portraying a guy who's traumatized yet hardened by it. As if the unbelievability of it is the only thing allowing him to tell it

No Opie fan mail had been sent.

Shaw's wierd accent is from Newfoundland.

Robert Shaw as Quint in Jaws vs Oliver Reed as Proximo in Gladiator. Mucho gravitas.

So yeah I had a real good break guys...Thanks opie, interesting, fucking woman. His conversation is boring in a female way.

shaw wasn't Irish as many believe he was English, he made Ireland his home to avoid paying the crippling British taxes.

"Sam stop wrecking everything!"

Show me the way to go home, I'm tired and I want to go to bed...

And then a big ol' PBJ picked us up!

Do you have the recent bit they did on back to the future and it's all related to him shaking?

christ he could act.. he was unbelievable.

Ok. Robert Shaw was NOT drunk. He was acting. He tried to do it the day before drunk and it stank. He re-shot it the next day stone cold sober and the DP said you couldn't tell the difference. 2. They had always intended for this scene. They needed a scene to explain why Quint hated and hunted sharks. The original monologue was originally 8 pages long and everybody writer including Robert Shaw worked on it.

Opie was Adamant on proving Jim wrong the entire Time

I recently saw Jaws on iMax and this line was not in the movie.

Actually, Bruce the Shark wrote the Indianapolis monologue and was going to do it himself in the movie, but he wasn't working that day so they gave it to Shaw and he was fine with it.

He was super cool in the sting

Ant at 7:45 is killing me!

Everything should be a Nopie.

Say there was an ice age, the mayor still wants the beach open

Robert should have been nominated

Fucking brilliant scene

Great actor and RAF veteran

@8:39 love the Shaw vs Travolta Pelham comparison...

😭When Shaw yells in this movie, his accent slips out and it reminds me of my grandma. R.I.P.

Morning fifth day I bumped into a friend of mine Gregg Hughes, Basketball Star, horses ass. He had this podcast he sorted floated about like a top upended, well his funny bone has been bitten in half

And then a big ol' PEE PEE JAY...!

One take deal when he was sober apparently!!! Did it when he was pissed and massively ballsed it up! Nearly blew his chance of immortality!!!

best movie ever

I remember this was around the point I started listening every day. Didn’t take me long to hate Opie and realize what a burden he was.

Jaws was based on a true story of some shark attacks that took place in New Jersey , the only big difference was the shark attacks took place in a fresh water lake, not an ocean.

@1:41 As someone from 'his side of the Pond'; it's funny how curious the guys find Shaw's inflexion there. That sort of sardonic levity is instantly recognisable here. Delivered perfectly by Shaw.

Apparently on the set of Jaws, Shaw told Dryfuss that there was room in Hollywood for two short Jewish actors. One, I think he was referring to Dennis Hoffman. Two, that sounds a little insensitive. Three, Spielberg was probably offended.

In the novel Hooper gets killed in the cage, Quint gets tangled in the ropes and is drowned by the shark and as the shark was coming from Brody it died from it's injuries.

Shaw was epic!!! Also in the Movie "The Deep" with Nolte and Bisset!!!

Robert Shaw.. My Farther.....

Agreed!

The remake was totally cool.

Opie drives the boat, Chief.

Burp into the mic, radio gold...

I would love to see actors of today try to do that monologue . Good luck

You know what dude..ya got ya submarine, ya got ya men in the water with the sharks dude...ya get into squares n they rip ya to pieces

I thought Vincent D'Onofrio was the bad guy in the original Pelham One Two Three, but he was in the TV movie version... now I don't even know if I've seen the original and just forgotten it.

Steel eyes Shaw.

How did they miss Robert Shaws performance in 1977s Black Sunday?

Fuck they need any on Jim and Sam so bad
